[0:11] hello everyone. I will

[0:12] start the meeting. Today is the

[0:15] Sherborn Board of Education meeting

[0:16] . It

[0:19] seems to be Tuesday, September 22nd, and I am having a meeting at the Dover-Sherborn Middle School

[0:21] library

[0:22] . The time

[0:24] is 5:30. The first agenda item

[0:27] is listening to the opinions of local residents.

[0:31] It seems no one is online. Does

[0:33] anyone have any opinions? does

[0:37] n't exist. Is there

[0:39] anyone here who would like to share their opinion

[0:40] ? doesn't exist.

[0:41] great. Then, let's move straight to the Superintendent's

[0:44] remarks.

[0:47] hello everyone. I will keep it brief as I explained it in

[0:50] more detail at last week's joint meeting

[0:53] .

[0:54] In particular, I would like to thank the residents of Sherborn and the

[0:58] Pine Hill community for their efforts in ensuring a smooth start to the school year

[1:00] . Thank you to everyone, including students, teachers,

[1:01] administrators, parents, and bus

[1:03] drivers

[1:05] . Everything is going well now

[1:06] .

[1:08] We have already held several all-student meetings, and Ms.

[1:09] Heather also

[1:10] had the opportunity to attend the first one.

[1:12] I was very impressed.

[1:15] And

[1:16] there is an open class for parents on Thursday evening at 6 PM

[1:17] . I look forward to meeting the Pine Hill parents in person

[1:19] . If you

[1:22] have any other questions or comments, please feel free to let me know at any time

[1:23] .

[1:26] Do you have any questions for Superintendent McCoy? It seems like there isn't one.

[1:28] Ah, wait a minute. Did you

[1:30] mean you wished Kate would come back?

[1:31] Ah, yes. I briefly forgot. My

[1:33] last name just changed. I

[1:35] agree as well. The all-student meeting is a

[1:36] really good time.

[1:37] Hello, Kate. We've held a

[1:39] school-wide meeting every Friday for the past five years

[1:40] . I really like the all-student meeting.

[1:42] It's a really good time.

[1:43] Yes, it is a good opportunity to foster a sense of community

[1:44] . Okay, I will

[1:45] continue. I will

[1:47] move on to the financial report. Mr.

[1:48] Shore,

[1:50] would you like to pass the microphone? all right.

[1:51] sorry.

[1:52] I didn't understand it well

[1:53] . It seems like you have quite a few more cases

[1:54] .

[1:56] Well, the

[1:57] items in today's report are those sent to City Hall since the last meeting

[1:59] , so it

[2:00] seems there are quite a lot of them.

[2:02] And I am telling you about all the materials you sent by Friday

[2:06] . It seems like September 11th was the last

[2:08] data. To

[2:09] reiterate, this document is a

[2:14] summary of all materials processed by our office and sent to the city. These are materials to be processed in the general fund

[2:16] and other special income funds

[2:18] . Mr. Bill

[2:21] prepares the slides, and we are

[2:27] very grateful that he comes every two weeks to create them on behalf of our committee.

[2:30] Today's data

[2:32] also includes the final settlement data for the 2026 fiscal year

[2:34] .

[2:40] You have likely seen various small figures, but this

[2:42] fiscal year was a year where we had to keep monitoring because the budget was tight between May and June

[2:47] . We have been talking a lot

[2:54] about changes to the regional budget throughout this year

[2:56] . This

[2:58] report summarizes the overall situation

[3:00] . For more

[3:02] details, please refer to other monthly reports

[3:04] . Basically, the

[3:06] salary budget was adjusted

[3:08] to within $9,000 of the originally set amount

[3:10] . Of course, there are instances where the budget and

[3:13] actual expenditures diverge, but

[3:17] because unexpected variables can arise, we always

[3:21] try to operate with a total payroll budget secured

[3:23] .

[3:29] There was a cost-saving effect in the special education teacher budget,

[3:35] because there were positions that were decided not to be filled after the budget was allocated. Thanks to this, we were

[3:37] able to recruit other necessary personnel

[3:38] , one of which is

[3:40] the hiring of 0.2 additional special education teachers

[3:41] . Therefore, 1.0 special education teacher is assigned to Pine Hill

[3:45] based on the student body size

[3:48] . In addition, there was flexibility in the recruitment process, which

[3:55] resulted in a slight negative increase in the general teacher budget

[3:57] . Well, after budgeting, we

[4:03] hired one more educational assistant based on the students' needs

[4:05] . However, overall,

[4:10] this year's salaries were finalized within the allocated budget

[4:13] . In terms of expenditure as well, it

[4:15] was almost the same.

[4:17] There was a slight cost-saving effect, and it was

[4:22] fortunate that we were able to save on items such as special education services. As I mentioned before

[4:24] , we are still adjusting to the aftermath of the Connections program

[4:25] migrating to Chickering

[4:28] . As you know, it is

[4:33] expected that the figure will be further reduced when formulating the budget for fiscal year 2027. However,

[4:35] fortunately, there were cost-saving effects

[4:37] , but one of the unexpected things was the

[4:39] increase in public utility rates

[4:40] . The biggest increase was in

[4:43] electricity costs, which resulted from adding two

[4:47] new RTUs and

[4:51] switching out the existing RTUs

[4:53] . Both RTUs

[4:55] are fully electric. Therefore,

[5:00] much more electricity is

[5:02] used to maintain the same temperature during the winter than when using gas.

[5:05] And there was an unexpected increase in regulations

[5:07] . Well, this is

[5:12] something I mentioned before. I was

[5:14] n't exactly sure, but I confirmed that it is an item that the regulatory

[5:15] authorities can add

[5:18] .

[5:20] If you look at your electricity bill, that item will be included

[5:21] . Fortunately,

[5:25] electricity supply costs are

[5:27] expected to decrease starting in December. This is

[5:32] because a new electricity supply contract has been signed. This is a

[5:35] contract signed about a year ago. You will be able to

[5:37] see significant cost savings

[5:38] . Currently, we are

[5:41] paying nearly 16 cents per kilowatt, but it will

[5:43] go down to 12.6 cents per kilowatt

[5:44] . This will help offset the increase in usage to

[5:46] some extent

[5:47] . In addition, the

[5:53] fee calculation method for areas outside the jurisdiction will change, and

[5:58] fees will be significantly reduced starting in 2017

[6:00] . The only

[6:02] thing we need to worry about is students from kindergarten

[6:03] to 5th grade

[6:05] moving out of our jurisdiction

[6:07] , and all other students are

[6:09] transferred to the local education office.

[6:13] However, as you will see if you read my report

[6:15] , we

[6:20] exceeded the budget by nearly $265,000 due to some deployment changes outside the jurisdiction

[6:22] . Fortunately, we had an

[6:27] additional budget for emergencies

[6:29] .

[6:32] So, we were able to utilize $241,000 in

[6:34] emergency funds

[6:35] . You are aware that I have emphasized every year that it is

[6:41] very important to ensure that the budget for emergencies does not run out

[6:42] .

[6:44] This is exactly the safety net we need

[6:45] . Thanks to this, we did

[6:50] not need to request additional budget from the city. Since I took

[6:52] office, there have been times when I had to make a request at least

[6:53] once

[6:55] . Therefore, we

[6:58] needed a budget for emergencies, and we utilized it effectively.

[7:01] Well, so in the end, we returned

[7:03] $590 to the village according to the budget

[7:05] . The

[7:08] fact that the budget was set at $590 is truly

[7:10] surprising. yes

[7:11] . Well, I can't take that ball

[7:13] . As you can see, the fluctuations

[7:15] are severe. What I deserve to be

[7:16] recognized for is that I demonstrated a

[7:18] firm determination to protect the emergency funds

[7:19] . That is

[7:20] certainly true. yes. It is really

[7:22] important. Budget volatility is

[7:27] too high, and the number of

[7:29] students transferring from other states is

[7:31] increasing in both towns. There are absolutely no

[7:33] protection measures for students coming from out of state

[7:34] . For students

[7:38] transferring from a different school district within the same state, the

[7:40] transfer

[7:41] district provides one year's worth of support and

[7:45] buys time for that district to factor it into the budget, but there is

[7:52] no such safety net for students coming from other states or students in cooperative school districts. So, we experienced

[7:57] that situation in both regions and ended up

[7:59] bearing 100% of the cost

[8:01] , but naturally, we did

[8:03] not reflect it in the budget. This is

[8:06] because I was unaware of such a situation.

[8:07] So, well, this is a

[8:09] summary of the current situation for fiscal year 2026

[8:11] . You will receive the

[8:13] first report for fiscal year 2027 in October, and the

[8:15] first budget proposal for fiscal year 2028 in November

[8:18] .

[8:19] thank you. It is like

[8:26] experiencing the 2027 fiscal year for one month before talking about the 2028 fiscal year

[8:27] . Regarding the 2028 fiscal year

[8:30] , as the Committee and Mr. Bill are

[8:32] aware, we were

[8:39] asked to attend a preliminary budget planning meeting in October with the Election Committee and the Advisory Committee. I am

[8:43] scheduled to attend one of the election committee meetings. Mr. Bill will

[8:47] attend representing the Sherborn Board of Education, and local

[8:48] leaders will also attend

[8:50] . Beth and I are also planning to attend

[8:52] . I think they are trying to explain the situation

[8:55] in advance before the budget guidelines are released

[8:57] . As you know,

[8:59] the budget was tight the year before last,

[9:01] so it seems they are trying to ensure

[9:02] everyone

[9:04] gets as much information as possible before starting the budget planning

[9:06] .

[9:08] great.

[9:08] The committee will continue to keep you

[9:10] updated on the situation.

[9:11] And I think we need to know how much money is left in our region's financial circuit

[9:12] breaker budget and

[9:14] how it works

[9:15] . There is currently

[9:17] about $12,000 remaining

[9:18] . yes.

[9:23] I collaborated with both regions to

[9:30] manage the Sherborn and Dover regions separately, which are responsible for the regional portion of the budget for resolving financial stagnation. That is

[9:31] correct regarding the regional manager.

[9:32] So, we were able to secure $98,000

[9:34] . and. thank god

[9:36] .

[9:37] Because we have already

[9:39] spent more than that amount. yes

[9:41] .

[9:41] Sherborn spent the money from the non-regional budget at the local level

[9:43] ,

[9:45] leaving nearly $478,000 in Dover

[9:47] . So, there is a

[9:50] kind of safety net in our region

[9:51] . We are trying to come up with emergency measures at the local level

[9:55] . So, about 12 people

[9:57] remained, and since the fourth quarter was

[9:58] our region's share, you did a

[10:00] great job. I had to

[10:02] start over from scratch and build it up step by step

[10:04] . yes.

[10:07] Fortunately, the number of students has decreased significantly

[10:09] . And

[10:11] for the Connections program,

[10:13] we have to cover the tuition for three out-of-district students,

[10:15] but we

[10:17] can control the costs to some extent

[10:18] . Transportation costs are

[10:21] n't expensive either. So there are a few advantages

[10:23] .

[10:24] In particular, as you mentioned, I think it is truly excellent to take such a preemptive measure in a situation where the

[10:25] number of incoming students cannot be predicted

[10:30] . yes

[10:31] . you're right. I have completely

[10:34] failed before, and I do

[10:37] not want to go through that situation again. I'm

[10:37] sorry, but could you please

[10:39] explain the move-in process in more detail

[10:41] ? It depends on how much it costs

[10:42] , or...

[10:44] well, where the student is placed

[10:45] . The

[10:47] reason I am bringing this up is that

[10:49] if a student comes to Sherborn and

[10:51] we do not

[10:53] know much about them, two

[10:55] situations arise

[10:56] . If you are a student coming from the same state, you

[11:00] have about a year to plan, but if you are a

[11:01] student coming from another state, you must take

[11:03] full responsibility immediately.

[11:05] We are experiencing such a situation in both regions

[11:06] .

[11:08] Therefore, we cannot afford to reflect it in the budget in advance

[11:10] .

[11:13] The cost varies depending on the student's needs

[11:15] . For example, if you can receive

[11:17] training through our Connections program

[11:19] , you only need to cover the

[11:21] costs required to send it to Chikering

[11:23] . However,

[11:27] sending them to Indigenous public schools or boarding programs

[11:29] naturally costs much more

[11:30] . So, costs

[11:33] vary from case to case, but the uncertain

[11:35] part is when students move from another state

[11:37] . In that

[11:38] case, you have to pay the cost right away

[11:40] .

[11:41] And when discussing the 2020-2027 fiscal year in the October report

[11:44] , I will provide a summary of the current situation and

[11:46] expectations

[11:48] .

[11:50] In addition, if

[11:51] there are any deployment cases we were unaware of, we will

[11:52] explain the reasons as well

[11:53] . There are cases where some of our students

[12:00] suddenly lose their eligibility and

[12:02] can no longer stay at the school, and we will

[12:04] inform you of such cases as well

[12:04] . You understood, right?

[12:11] To speak about the facility improvement project carried out this year, although it was

[12:14] not on the school committee's list of responsibilities, it

[12:17] was a project conducted by the village. It was a

[12:21] water tank replacement project conducted at Pine Hill, and it

[12:23] was already completed before the start of the school year. The other one

[12:25] was the installation of a water purification system, but

[12:27] when the bidding results came out, it

[12:29] exceeded the budget set by the city

[12:31] . So, the city

[12:32] proceeded with the water tank construction first

[12:34] and completed all preparatory work for the installation of the water purification system

[12:38] . However, it seems we will need to request additional budget once the water purification system

[12:39] installation is complete

[12:44] .

[12:50] Thank you for the support from the Sherborn City Public Works Department

[12:51] . Employees from the City Public Works Department

[12:52] frequently visited the campus and

[12:54] helped with other tasks as well

[12:55] . They also did the landscaping work

[12:58] .

[13:00] Thank you so much for being with us this summer; it

[13:04] was helpful to both sides. Thank you once again

[13:05] . Do you have anything else to say

[13:07] ? does

[13:08] n't exist.

[13:09] thank you.

[13:11] It seems there are no further matters to discuss. Then, we will

[13:15] move on to the next agenda item

[13:16] . Let's look at them one by one

[13:19] . The first item on the agenda

[13:24] is the second deliberation of the Pine Hill Improvement Plan. Let

[13:29] me give you some background information

[13:31] . As I mentioned at last week's joint meeting

[13:32] , I reminded you once again of our school district

[13:34] 's five-year strategic plan

[13:35] .

[13:36] Under this plan, the school district

[13:38] sets goals every year, and

[13:39] last week I shared the district's goals and my own

[13:41] .

[13:42] And to support this,

[13:43] each school—that is, all four schools—

[13:46] establishes and implements their own improvement plans.

[13:48] And teachers set

[13:49] their goals based on this plan

[13:51] . Therefore, there is a close link between the school district

[13:52] 's planning and teachers' activities in the classroom

[13:55] . For example, Ms.

[13:56] Alison Gullin Lynx-Rudd of Pine Hill Elementary School collaborated

[14:01] very cooperatively with Ms. Deborah Inman of Chickering Elementary School to

[14:02] jointly develop a school improvement plan

[14:04] . It has already been several years since the two of you

[14:05] started cooperating like this

[14:06] , and I think this is a good example of the cooperation and support our

[14:07] school district aims to

[14:08] provide to all students from kindergarten to fifth grade

[14:12] . It is to

[14:13] help students have similar experiences

[14:14] . School culture might be somewhat

[14:16] different, though. While there may

[14:19] be slight differences from school to school

[14:20] , it is important to note, as Allison pointed out, that

[14:22] we are all moving in the same direction toward literacy

[14:24] programs, new

[14:26] extracurricular activity timetables in elementary schools, and ensuring that

[14:28] students are truly at the

[14:30] center of their learning, engaging in physical activities and

[14:37] hands-on experiences to understand the content

[14:40] . If

[14:41] you have any questions, please feel free to ask at any time

[14:42] . It is

[14:43] no different from what you saw in the spring, and it is

[14:46] also consistent with the process in chicering.

[14:48] great. Kate or Mason,

[14:50] do you have any questions? doesn't exist.

[14:52] Kate, do you have any questions? does

[14:54] n't exist. great. Well then, um

[14:58] , I'm sorry.

[15:01] Would you agree to approve the Pine Hill improvement plan

[15:03] ?

[15:04] Mason Kay, I agree.

[15:07] thank you. Would

[15:08] you like to second?

[15:09] Kate Man Delini, I second

[15:10] .

[15:11] Okay, Kate. Hmm, is there anything else

[15:13] to discuss?

[15:16] Since we are conducting the meeting remotely, we need to vote for attendance

[15:18] . Ms. Kate,

[15:20] would you mind speaking first? yes. yes

[15:23] .

[15:24] Mr. Mason? yes

[15:25] .

[15:25] Mr. Al Panu, yes. The agenda item

[15:28] has been passed. The next item on the agenda is the

[15:32] appointment of a liaison for the Medco Education Committee

[15:34] .

[15:37] It looks like Ms. Kimberly is attending a meeting...

[15:39] ah, she was, wasn't she?

[15:40] Could the connection have been lost?

[15:42] Ah, here you are. Ah, so it was

[15:44] Kate. You need to attend

[15:46] ... No, it is

[15:47] n't strictly necessary, but as you

[15:48] mentioned, Ms. Kimberly has been

[15:50] performing this role for the past two years and

[15:51] wants to participate again

[15:52] . I am

[15:53] highly experienced and ready to start working immediately

[15:54] , so I would appreciate it if you could appoint me

[15:56] . great.

[16:01] May I propose the agenda item to appoint Ms. Kimberly as the Education Committee Liaison for MedCo? Mr.

[16:01] Mason Gates, I agree

[16:03] .

[16:03] thank you. Would

[16:04] you like to second? I

[16:05] second Kate Menzel Linney

[16:07] .

[16:07] thank you.

[16:09] I will check attendance once again. Kate? yes

[16:10] . great.

[16:12] Mason? yes

[16:12] .

[16:13] Bill Alpha No? yes

[16:14] . The agenda item has been passed.

[16:17] The following is the motion.

[16:20] All three agenda items

[16:21] can be processed together without objection. The

[16:28] retroactive approval of ACED's Town Show recommendations, the approval of building rent

[16:30] , and the approval of the Sherman Board of Education minutes of June 2

[16:34] . Is there

[16:38] anyone who would like to talk about talent shows

[16:39] ? Yes, I actually

[16:41] asked a question about that part as well.

[16:42] We pay

[16:43] various allowances to teachers for work they do outside of class hours

[16:46] . Most middle and

[16:47] high schools, especially high schools,

[16:48] receive a large amount of allowances, as

[16:49] you know, because there are many

[16:51] diverse clubs and sports activities in high schools

[16:52] . Although there are

[16:56] not many recipients in elementary schools, a stipend began to be paid to

[16:57] Ms. Kelly Hodge two years ago in

[17:00] recognition of her dedication to the talent show for over 10 years

[17:03] . She

[17:05] did so purely out of good intentions, but

[17:09] the committee that reviews and approves the allowance every year thought that her contribution should be

[17:10] recognized

[17:12] . It was originally supposed to be

[17:14] included in the agenda for the Spring 2025 meeting

[17:16] , but somehow it

[17:17] was omitted. sorry. I would

[17:25] appreciate it if you could formally approve retroactive payment so that we can continue to pay allowances to the massage therapists

[17:27] .

[17:28] great. And do you have anything to

[17:30] say about money and building usage fees

[17:32] ?

[17:33] Yes, we have

[17:38] reviewed the building rental fees for all three regions

[17:39] . I looked into the

[17:42] rental fees, especially because of the new lawn

[17:44] . We

[17:47] also reviewed rental fees in similar areas

[17:49] , and as a result, decided to set different

[17:51] rates depending on whether the group is local or external

[17:54] . The number of external organizations renting Merji Auditorium has

[17:58] increased significantly, and I

[18:01] believe this is because our rental fees are very affordable

[18:03] . So we wanted to strike a balance between the village

[18:06] assets and the fees we charge

[18:09] . Also, over time, I

[18:17] found out that the gym usage fees were set differently for youth basketball teams (our gym's main rental targets)

[18:19] . So I wanted to

[18:22] set everything right and make it clear

[18:24] . Therefore, it

[18:28] has been approved by all three school districts, and

[18:30] the rates presented here

[18:33] are based on the typical rental rates in Pine Hill

[18:35] . Therefore, there are no major changes, and in

[18:44] fact, gym fees

[18:47] have been slightly reduced to be closer to the existing charges.

[18:51] However, we are satisfied with the current level and are

[18:56] trying to increase management fees every three years in accordance with contractual cost increases.

[18:59] Therefore, it is very simple. This

[19:01] rate applies from July 1st

[19:02] .

[19:04] Discussions regarding the entire region were already

[19:05] concluded at the June meeting. We are

[19:06] short on time, so

[19:08] you will need to handle the matters regarding the two regions tonight

[19:09] . However, this

[19:10] information has already been conveyed to the most important

[19:12] stakeholders, the youth basketball team

[19:13] . They have

[19:15] prepared a budget and know the fees

[19:16] . Now, the

[19:18] same fee

[19:19] applies to both elementary schools. Thank you for your hard work

[19:20] once again.

[19:22] All meeting minutes are included in the materials

[19:23] .

[19:24] I hope you have reviewed everything. Um, three

[19:26] information items, no, I'm sorry

[19:28] . May I consent to approve the three agenda items

[19:33] ? The retroactive approval of ACED recommendations

[19:35] , approval of building rental fees, and approval of the

[19:37] Sherborn Board of Education minutes for June 2

[19:39] .

[19:41] Mason K, I second. Wait,

[19:44] may I ask you a question?

[19:49] How widely known are the building rental fees and opportunities to use the building

[19:51] ? This building

[19:56] is a truly valuable asset.

[19:57] Yes, so when people

[19:59] come to the administrative office to inquire,

[20:00] groups like the Girl Scouts

[20:02] sometimes rent the space

[20:04] . Well, CSA naturally does

[20:06] not receive rent.

[20:08] We do not necessarily intend to make money with this, but rather to

[20:11] serve the local community.

[20:13] So, although we do

[20:14] not go out of our way to promote it, we are aware that if anyone

[20:16] inquires, it is

[20:17] available for rent at the faculty office and

[20:19] can be used at any time

[20:20] . all

[20:22] right. thank you.

[20:25] Kate. great. Would

[20:28] you like to consent to approve the three motions?

[20:29] Jason K, I agree.

[20:31] thank you. Would

[20:32] you like to second?

[20:33] Kate Jolie, I second

[20:35] .

[20:35] thank you.

[20:37] Do you have any further discussions? Yes, I have a

[20:38] question. It does

[20:41] not affect whether I agree or not, but I have a

[20:43] question. I am wondering if

[20:44] these

[20:46] allowance payments, which I fully support, require changes to the contract or job

[20:48] description

[20:50] . I would also like to know if this allowance will continue to be paid in the future, if

[20:51] Mr. Hodges is

[20:53] no longer at Pine Hill

[20:57] .

[20:58] Teachers sign standard contracts every year based on their teaching performance

[21:02] . And these

[21:05] are the additional contracts they receive. Whether it is a talent competition or a

[21:07] soccer coach, each position

[21:08] is assigned annually. Mr. Hoji has

[21:10] gladly applied every year and

[21:11] done a truly excellent job, but

[21:12] if he decides not to apply,

[21:13] someone else

[21:15] may apply.

[21:16] great. yes

[21:16] .

[21:17] And in fact, it was

[21:19] already included in Appendix C when you signed the final contract

[21:20] . It is just that I did

[21:23] not receive your approval before proceeding to this point

[21:25] . That is why I am here now

[21:26] . yes.

[21:27] Mr. Hodge was truly excellent

[21:28] .

[21:29] You always did your best. yes

[21:30] . So, it is not a

[21:31] problem with the person, but a

[21:32] problem with the position. yes

[21:33] . yes. yes.

[21:35] The position has been approved. yes. yes

[21:36] .

[21:37] Yes, the position has been approved and is now

[21:39] included in your educator contract

[21:40] . So, it will be

[21:42] filled at the principal's discretion

[21:43] . Because there might be some years when you do

[21:45] n't want to do a talent show

[21:46] . However, the

[21:49] position exists in any case, and the allowance has been

[21:54] paid to the relevant employee since it was approved by ACED

[21:55] . Therefore, the

[21:57] payment was not delayed due to this incident

[21:59] .

[21:59] The payment was processed successfully

[22:00] .

[22:01] The committee holds a meeting every November

[22:02] . We will review it if additional opportunities

[22:04] or allowances arise

[22:06] . For example, if the talent show

[22:12] becomes very popular and the workload of the person in charge doubles, the allowance amount will be

[22:13] reviewed. For more

[22:16] details, please refer to Appendix C of the contract

[22:18] . Yes,

[22:20] that's all. Isn't that

[22:21] amazing? Now, we will

[22:25] proceed with the attendance vote

[22:26] . Kate,

[22:28] would you mind voting first? thank you

[22:29] . Mason, yes.

[22:31] Alpha No, yes. The motion has

[22:33] been passed. Hmm, it seems like you just need to look at the information materials

[22:37] . Is that right? As shown in the data

[22:39] , we do

[22:40] not vote on these materials

[22:42] . The composition of the subcommittee

[22:45] reflects the opinion of the Sherborn Education Committee

[22:47] . I would appreciate it if Kate, Mason,

[22:50] and Megan Nathaniel would all

[22:52] review these materials thoroughly

[22:54] . And

[22:56] Dunn and Diane, who is sending the memos that

[22:57] connect you with other organizations

[22:58] ? It's

[23:01] probably Diane; she should be

[23:03] on the chart. If you

[23:09] are a contact person for another organization, such as CSA or Town Success, the contact person will be

[23:11] listed there. I would appreciate it if you could briefly

[23:13] introduce yourself and let me know that you are available to

[23:14] help at any time if needed

[23:17] . all

[23:18] right. Mason, since you are the

[23:20] Chairman of the CSA,

[23:22] we will take care of that part. all

[23:26] right. The next item on the agenda is,

[23:30] um, the minutes of the Dover Board of Education meeting

[23:32] . Thank you very much for

[23:33] including the meeting minutes in the meeting materials

[23:35] .

[23:36] Thanks to you, I was able to see what was happening in Dover

[23:38] and

[23:41] also view the minutes of the Dover-Sherborn Regional Board of Education meetings

[23:42] . Yes, that's all

[23:45] . The next meeting is on October 20

[23:47] . Hmm,

[23:50] does anyone have any other questions?

[23:53] Dr. Ronan, do you have any questions

[23:54] ?

[23:55] Yes, it's fine.

[23:56] Then, since the meeting has concluded,

[23:58] would you please move to adjourn

[24:00] ? It is 5:54 now.

[24:02] Would you please move to adjourn?

[24:04] Mason K, I agree to adjourn.

[24:05] thank you.

[24:07] Would you please second the motion?

[24:08] Kate Mansol Lilo, I second

[24:09] .

[24:09] thank you.

[24:11] Is there anyone who agrees? Kate? yes

[24:13] .

[24:13] Mason? yes

[24:14] .

[24:15] Bella Alpha No, yes.

[24:17] It seems the agreement has been passed. I will now close the meeting

[24:20] .
